Thankfully, we can now confirm that a western launch is indeed happening, and it takes place at some point this year. To celebrate the announcement, Square Enix has released a special trailer which you can feast your eyes (and ears) on below. Interestingly, the trailer mentions the eShop, which suggests that this sequel could be download-only. [UPDATE: It has been pointed out that the official site features a packshot, which means a retail release is in fact happening.]

Are you excited about getting your hands on this title? Let us know by posting a comment.

Damien has over a decade of professional writing experience under his belt, as well as a repulsively hairy belly. Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded. DamienMcFerran
